Everyear my hubby tk leave on my son's b'day and we both spend entire day with him. now my son is 3. 4yrs.

Hi Sunny... honestly speaking kids doesnt enjoy their 1st b'day at all... infact dey suffer a lot as we keep busy all the time receive guests and unable to attend baby... but we being parents always want to celebrate his/her 1st year with great pomp n show... We also did... but we invited few ppl bt 30-35... party last maximum in 2 n half hrs.. only elders enjoy the party... nt my poor baby... we wanted to celebrate at home but , place was nt sufficient for so many ppl. so we decided to go for banquet. Return gift was disney milk mugs with cover. We kept return gift same for everyone whether they hv kids or not.

Hi shikha thanks for the suggestion. I workk for Funcity gurgaon and indeed thats a fun place for kids but my son is too small for games and the gathering would be more of elders than childern. Basically first birthdays are more over parents socialising coz kid wont know what is happening.
